Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer are currently promoting The Man From UNCLE. He’s also been rumoured for a part in the Fifty Shades sequel. So E! asked him if it was true – and this is how he reacted:
OK, so basically they’re trying to do the deal now? Because otherwise it’s a straight up “no”, right?
Cavill is not going to be replacing Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey. Full Story

A new trailer for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (all the periods in this title are annoying, can I please skip them next time?) was released last night. The movie comes out on August 14. And both Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer need the momentum. This preview is a pretty good start. It’s slick and campy and I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I got excited seeing Hugh Grant. Full Story

The cast of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was in Rome this weekend to promote the film. The movie comes out in August. I am obsessed with Alicia Vikander’s dress. Also her tan.
Anyway, as you can see, U.N.C.L.E.’s two leads, Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer, are working matching beards right now. Full Story

Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer were in Vegas earlier this week at CinemaCon to promote The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It comes out in August. And as I mentioned earlier this week, neither star has much heat right now so the marketing team for the movie has to get on it, soon.
Cavill in particular, given that he's Superman, really needs this. Full Story

Armie Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Chambers stepped out this weekend for the LACMA 50th anniversary gala. My first thought when I saw these pictures:
“Oh yeah, Armie Hammer.”
He was supposed to be a thing, wasn’t he?
He was supposed to be on the verge of a big career. Full Story

It’s all kinds of porny—suit porny, handsome-guy-porny, spy porny—but mostly it’s straight vintage porn. The first trailer for Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is here and it looks amazing. I mean literally, it LOOKS amazing. Ritchie has always been a stylish director, but this is some next-level retro cinema sh*t that I can’t stop watching. Full Story

Looking ahead from 6 months, there were high expectations for both Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Man Of Steel and The Lone Ranger were supposed to make them big movie stars?
What’s on the report card?
Well, Cavill pissed his momentum away with a Kaley Cuoco situation. And Hammer’s Lone Ranger took a dump at the box office and then he tried to blame the critics for its failure. Full Story

Armie Hammer was supposed to be a big time movie star by now. Only The Lone Ranger didn’t deliver. But, you know, that was the critics’ fault. Blame them. If the critics didn’t take a dump on the movie, would Armie Hammer have had a shot at Batman? According to Sarah, he was actually supposed to be Batman once a few years ago for a project that fell apart. Full Story

I wonder which is more uncomfortable—promoting a movie that you know sucks, or promoting a movie after it tanks? Based on Armie Hammer’s recent interviews, he does not seem to be enjoying promoting The Lone Ranger in the wake of its disastrous performance this summer—and let’s take a moment to laugh that they’re still shilling for that movie—but is it any worse than having to promote Mirror Mirror? These are the questions I wish someone would ask. Full Story

The Lone Ranger premiere happened the other day. Not in Hollywood but at Disney California Adventure Park. Depp, as we know, has been a Disney man for some time now. He’s made a lot of money for Disney as Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney has paid him a lot of money for his services. And they hope he will continue delivering money as Tonto. Full Story

Armie Hammer was in Tokyo today promoting The Lone Ranger all by himself. But you know how the Japanese feel about Johnny Depp. Johnny is shooting Transcendence in LA right now and couldn’t make it. I’m sure they’ll have him back at a later date. Johnny’s actually pretty fun when he goes to Japan. Full Story

I said once that no matter how bad The Lone Ranger looks, I wouldn’t bet against director Gore Verbinski pulling a rabbit out of his hat and coming up with something entertaining and crowd-pleasing, if not exactly good. Verbinski is the kind of director that exceeds in chaotic conditions and he has a knack for finding solid character beats amidst splashy action sequences. Full Story

There are worse things than The Lone Ranger. Like, say, Transformers 1-3, conclusive. Or World War Z. WWZ looks terrible because it’s so freaking generic, like someone threw Independence Day, Armageddon and The Walking Dead into a blender and WWZ is the vomitus mass that came out. Or the entire Fast & Furious franchise. Full Story

The second trailer for Disney’s The Lone Ranger is out and oh God, it looks hilariously awful. Not because of Johnny Depp as Tonto, but because it just looks like a clichéd, bloated summer action movie. So, like, bad in the regular way.
People are, of course, always and forever going to debate Depp as Tonto, as we have done hereFull Story
